cess. To say it is already paying scheme
would be putting it too strong, but we can
say that the trade continues to increase
daily, and that the management feels very
well pleased with the progress made. Their
time table is at present merely an expert
mental one, and will of course have to be
changed materially before it will be 80 ar

the train men in charge are universally
obliging, accommodating and courteous,

train makes ten stops, land more if re-
quired) between this city and Bellaire is all
that could be wished. Their time table
will be revised again in few weeks when
two or thee more trains will be placed on
the branch, and the whole list be so ar
ranged as to almost perfectly meet the
wants of all classes Of travel.
